    ISU-OSU Matchup By Numbers

    Thought this would be fun to post a little bit of matchup by numbers. I'll try and pair offenses vs. defenses. My "tl;dr" version of below is that It appears that in many categories by the numbers, these are 2 fairly evenly matched teams only by numbers. The rebounding is nearly identical...

    Purdue

    Next up: Purdue I admit, I don't know a lot about them. What I do know is that, at least according to my Purdue friend, that they don't do well against good, athletic guards. They have a big center, Haas, who is 7'2" and near 300 lbs. He is not very athletic though - at least for a high major...

    Nevada and ISU Opponents Analysis

    This pretty much means nothing for who will win the game (necessarily), but is still fun to compare. tl;dr: ISU has played way more games against tournament teams than Nevada and owns a much better record/win pct versus those teams. Both teams have played statistically, by the wins and losses...

    Other Statistics - Iona and ISU

    I like looking at statistics in which you have to dig a little deeper to tell the whole story. Not all of these are, but not all of these are going to be very well published. Wins against tournament teams Iowa State: 9 Iona: 0 Losses in which the team was leading or tied at any point in the...

    ISU's RPI

    Not that it matters a ton but ISU is #1 in RPI right now over VALPO. http://www.rpiforecast.com/live-rpi.html Fun to see regardless even if it doesn't mean anything right now.

    Props to UAB

    It's always hard to swallow when you lose, especially like this. It hurts, but I want to say props to UAB for beating the ever living crap out of us on the glass and taking advantage of it. We had a bad game, but this is March Madness and you guys took advantage of it. Congratulations and I'll...

    UAB Forum

    Couldn't resist posting this. Some of them are pretty clueless about ISU this year and think it'll be an easy game for them. One guy even said the "Hoiberg is the type of guy that Alabama would go after for a head coaching job." I guess they missed all the NBA teams interested in him...

    Top 25 (+ Other Rec Votes) Opponent Win Percentage By Won Games

    Thought I'd make a little something to calculate this for me. Strength of Schedule usually takes into account every game you play rightfully. However, I wanted to see opponent win percentage for each team in the last AP top 25 + other receiving votes for only games that were actually won (not...

    Ejim's Improvement

    Ejim has improved so much between last year and this year. I wasn't a HUGE fan of him last year, but now I love the guy. He played and worked out this summer with the Nigerian National Olympic basketball team. How much do you guys think that must have helped him?

    And With That Win, Fred Hoiberg...

    And With That Win, Fred Hoiberg....equals the amount of total wins Greg McDermott had at ISU, in over one less season. Sorry I had to do it, but thought it was pretty interesting. Here's to many more years of success. I <3 Hoiberg.

    Anybody Been to Abu Dhabi?

    I have a layover in Abu Dhabi in a few months for just under 7 hours. We arrive at night, and was wondering if anybody on here has been there. I'm basically wondering if it's worth it. I can think of a few places I want to go there (i.e. Ferrari Theme Park, world's largest mosque), but am...

    Tavon Sledge

    I personally liked the kid a lot and was sad to see him go. Last night he played his first game for Iona. Pretty good stat line for the most part: 28 minutes, 3-4 shooting, 6 points, 7 rebounds 5 assists, 2 steals, 2 blocks, only 1 foul..but 3 turnovers is the only negative probably. Good...

    Royce White Expected to Make NBA Debut (Presason) Tonight

    7:30pm Central time. I know the game is on Fox Sports for those of you who have Sports Pack or something like it, but knowing the networks, it'll probably be blacked out. I'm sure there will be a stream for it online in any case.

    So I basically just reserved a trip to Grand Bahama Island for starting next weekend with some friends and I've never been there. Anybody been there and have any suggestions for things to see/do and places to eat? Thanks!
